The World Series of Fighting’s inaugural title bout will move
forward as planned, as both Josh
Burkman and Steve Carl
were cleared to compete at Friday’s WSOF
6 weigh-ins.

Burkman (169.6) and Carl (169.6) will do battle over the vacant
WSOF welterweight championship live on Saturday night from the
BankUnited Center in Coral Gables, Fla. The evening’s main draw
airs live on NBC Sports Network and will also showcase a
bantamweight co-headliner pitting top-10 talent Marlon
Moraes (136) against twice-beaten prospect Carson
Beebe (136).

Former top-five welterweight Jon Fitch
(170.4) will also see action on Saturday, as the ex-UFC title
contender looks to rebound from a two-fight skid against Marcelo
Alfaya (172). Lightweight prospect Justin
Gaethje (155.8) will also compete during the broadcast against
UFC alumnus Dan Lauzon
(158).
